Will top golfers participate in the 2025 Myrtle Beach Classic? Here’s what to know
With Myrtle Beach’s second-ever PGA Tour tournament less than three months away, many want to know who will tee off when it starts at the Dunes Golf and Beach Club.
A ‘duel-field’ PGA Tour event featuring 132 players, the Myrtle Beach Classic will start May 8, 2025, and run through May 11.
Myrtle Beach Classic Tournament Director Darren Nelson did not return a request for comment before publication.
In 2024, the Myrtle Beach Classic announced its lineup less than a week before the tournament began. In a previous 2024 interview, Nelson said pros who finished within the Top 50 of the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup ranking of the prior year would not play in the Myrtle Beach Classic.
Therefore, PGA Tour standouts like Scottie Scheffler, Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele wouldn’t compete in the Myrtle Beach Classic.
The PGA Tour’s top pros will golf that weekend, though. The Myrtle Beach Classic occurs at the same time as the Truist Championship PGA Tour Signature Event tees off from The Philadelphia Cricket Club May 7 and concludes May 11.
The Truist Championship was formerly called The Wells Fargo Championship. While the Myrtle Beach Classic has a $4 million purse, the Truist Championship has a $20 million purse.
“The title sponsor looked at several options. They looked at a PGA Tour event. They looked at PGA Tour Champions. They looked at LPGA options,” Nelson said in March 2024. “They felt like this type of event was the best fit this time for Myrtle Beach on the investment level.”
